“If you asked me the same questions two weeks ago I would have said in the cellars. We are going alright – we have won three out of four. We are second on the ladder – not that we like being second to Brisbane but we are. As everyone knows we have a few injuries but it looks like we will have Sean Wellman and Scott Lucas back next week – which is good news.
It is still pretty hard to get a kick in our forward line – I have been out-gunned by two multi-million dollar boys. So I am just happy to take their crumbs. As long as I kick one I should stay in the team.
On the serious side I think the biggest bonus the team has had this year is the young guys stepping up. All of a sudden we have David Hille who has jumped up, we’ve got Joel Reynolds who has stepped up as well as Robert Forster-Knight. Danny Jacobs has taken the next step and is holding the backline together. There are a lot of guys who have put their hand up and I think that is good for the club. I am looking forward to Thursday’s match against Collingwood. Regardless of our positions on the ladder it is always a big game against the Magpies on Anzac Day.
